The Industrial Project represents the operative phase of a process of engineering that originates from the idea of a product and which ends with its realization. The design phases follow certain rules and in their development specific methodologies and terminologies are applied. The student in Science of the materials commonly interacts, in the professional field, with the engineering world and it is opportune that he knows how to interact with the processes that guide the industrial project.
The module is proposed as a basis for industrial design issues and is linked with the basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, science and technology of materials. Alongside a methodology of industrial design, the student is oriented towards the development of elementary mechanical design procedures.
The aim of the teaching of Foundations of Industrial Project is to provide basic elements on industrial design issues, linking them with the basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, science and technology of materials. Alongside a methodology of industrial design, the student is oriented towards the development of elementary mechanical design procedures.
At the end of the course the student will have acquired the basic knowledge for the interpretation of a mechanical industrial project. Specifically, the student will be able to:
No specific prerequisites are required, without prejudice to the basic knowledge of general physics and inorganic chemistry.
The teaching consists of lectures, supplemented with exercises and examples, guidance for a total 48 hours at which are added 12 hours dedicated to the entering of projects, related to the sub-simple mechanical systems, which are developed by the students organized into groups (usually two students for each proposed project). In the project development is required the realization of construction drawings of components, prepared with CAD codes support. The project is a fundamental part of the exam. Attendance at lessons is not mandatory, while drafting the project is mandatory.
The module proposes a first level of interconnection between disciplines of industrial engineering and disciplines of chemistry and physics. It is organized as follows:
Consultation texts: Ghigliazza, R., Ferraro A. and others "Institutions of industrial design - Vol. 1", Genoa (in italian). Chirone, E., Tornincasa, S., "Industrial technical drawing - Vol.1", Ed. Il Capitello, Turin (in italian). Luzzander, W.J., Duff, J.M. "Introduction to engineering drawing", Prentice Hall, New Jersey, USA. Ullmann, D.G., "The mechanical design process", McGraw Hill, New York, USA Didactic material is made available to support the development of lessons and exercises. Specific material is provided to support the project. Supplementary material is provided in itinere on specific treated issues.

1 October (indicative, according to the schedule of lessons defined by the CCS).
The exam includes an oral exam. The project work carried out by the student is taken as reference. The student must be able to discuss his / her work by justifying and commenting on the proposed design choices. Starting from the contents of this document, two further questions will be formulated to the student on topics included in the lectures.
The oral exam will verify the effective acquisition of basic knowledge on the interpretation of a simple industrial project. The student must be able to discuss the issues addressed during the course and to correlate them to the specific subject matter of the project developed by the student himself.
The teacher is available to provide specific indications and references.
